Bucket not touring with Brain anymore?

[dave-gnfnr2k]

Ok, I listened to 45 min out of the 55 min album during my workout (workout only lasts 45 min).? I gave it an honest try and entered it with an open mind, and I can honestly say that I will never listen to it again.? My impressions:

1.? Each songs blends together and no one songs differentiating itself from the other.? Each song sounds just like the last.? After a while it all sounds like noise ... and not good noise at that.? There is not one memorable moment in the 45 min I listened to.

2.? I can now see why he can put out 2-3 albums a year.? From the sounds of this album, it appears that it was just improvised.? It sounds like the musicians are just jamming in the studio and whatever comes out is what is put on the cd.?

3.? All this really is is mood music.? There are no real emotions that are brought to surface.? This music may be nice to set a mood maybe as background music at a cocktail hour or maybe as a conversation piece, but it isn't really good for much else.? It invokes no real emotions in me at all.

Bottom line is that I would take 1 Slash riff over 1,000,000 BH riffs.? BH is a good technical performer (as this CD proves), but there is absolutely no substance there.?

Keep in mind this is just muy opinion and I'm sure there are dozens of peopel out there that can listen to this cd more than once.? It's just that I'm not one of them.

BH is amazing,  and I am curious to what Axl pulled out of him for the Cd sessions.

If his solos are anything like "Electric Tears" or "mOnsters and Robots" we are in for a treat....

I assume that you can't be a Tool fan...

I am a huge Tool fan, they are probably my second or third favorite band right now.  I loved Aenemia the first time I heard it.  I was hooked after 3 songs.  That BH album was so hard to listen to and so bad IMO that I have no need to listen to it twice.

Normally I listen to something a few times before it grows on me.  I had to listen to the UYi albums a few times before they really grew on me, same with Contraband.  But I usually know from the first listen whether or not that is going to happen.  I could tell from my first listen of Population Override that I wouldn't like it no matter how many times I listened to it just like I'm sure I could tell from my first listen of a Justin Timberlake CD that I wouldn't like it (if I could even bring myself to listen to it in the first place).  BH's album was mostly just improvised noise IMO.  There is nothing particularly deep about it and each song sounds like the other. 

Not sure how you can assume I don't like Tool because I don't care for BH's solo records?

Someone said Brain was never smiling during the 2002 Tour which means that he joined just because of the money.
But Brain never smiles...

Nah man , the only reason brain isnt smiling is because he's forced to sit onside of buckethead. He doesnt like buckethead anymore and wont be doing any more tours with him and this pic is positive proof. Buckethead isnt smiling either as you can see so they must be fighting.

Without a song structure with vocals and such, Buckethead is just mood music. When he left GNR he severely limited his potential listening audience. Bad career move. Its about taking your art to the masses and turning them on to something that has not been done before.

Wow, this guy above me is hitting rain drops with his peashooter.

I don't think Bucket is worried about his career. LOL. He's doing great right now.

and with a great drummer like Brain playing on every one of his albums and tours how can he go wrong?!

Brain and Bucket are an awesome team!!
